The Trumpet - Sample Modeling

CC24 : dynamic pitch modulation. In the real instrument, the current pitch is affected
by transient changes of the dynamics. The Trumpet exactly reproduces this behaviour.
The intensity of this pitch response can be varied with CC24, to better cope with
different styles. For example, barock music generally exhibits less fluctuations, and the
overall pitch tends to be more steady. You may reproduce this behaviour by decreasing
CC24 somewhat from the default value of 64. Conversely, a “funny trumpet”, mimicking
the performance of a beginner, (or a drunken player, see http://www.samplemodeling.com/Demos/5-Oktoberfest.mp3
) can be obtained by increasing CC24 to very
high values.
Tip: Higher settings of CC24 may also allow BC players to perform a realistic vibrato by
simply modulating the air flow.
CC25: dynamics linked to velocity. The dynamic is normally controlled by CC11 only.
CC25 allows to control the initial dynamics by note-on velocity. This allows fast
sforzato-crescendo effects, often too difficult to create with the expression pedal CC11.
If the value of CC25 is different from zero, the dynamic time course will follow a ramp,
connecting the note-on velocity to the current CC11 value. If the former is higher than
the latter, a sforzato effect is obtained. In the opposite case, one gets a crescendo
effect. The overall dynamic excursion is proportional to CC25. It varies from zero (no
dependence on velocity) to 127 (initial dynamic determined only by velocity). Default =
0.
CC26: default note-on pitch-modulation duration. Default = 94.
CC27:
default note-off release duration. Default = 10. (for fast releases)
Note: CC26 and CC27 also allow to modify the relative duration of each keyswitch. (See
“Performance Keyswitches” below).
CC100: MIDI-loadable mutes. Loaded mutes are: “None” (default) (for CC100 between 0
and 21), “Straight (22-42) , “Cup” (43-63), “Bucket” (64-85), “Harmon” (86-106),
“Harmon + stem” (107-127).
CC129: Channel Aftertouch
NEW !
Aftertouch: Kontakt 3.5 recognizes Channel Aftertouch as CC129.
Tip: Aftertouch is very suitable for controlling Growl or Flutter Tongue.
The slightly increased pressure associated with a keystroke may add some extra
growl to the initial part of the note, yielding very realistic effects.
